This was rated as runner up for the Best Triangle in I Am Canadian's contest. Thank you, IAC, now I have the spirit to write more for it!
Digimon does not belong to me.
Digi hear? Digi watch the newest shows? Can you believe what Sora did to Tai? She totally shot him down! And, well, while you get to see Sora's feeling, you didn't get to know what Tai felt, except that he looked very pained and sad. So here, I wrote about what it must have beeb like for Taichi Kamiya.
My Heart's Desire
I've known her for the longest time. We've always been best friends. Ever since we were little kids, we used to climb trees and run around the block. She was a tomboy and we used the have the most spectacular times together. But these three years...well, she's changed. She's gone.
Where she loved to dress up as a boy, with a cap and all, she now wears a green dress and shows her hair, that lovely orange head, with it bobbed like it was three years ago. She never want to go anywhere with me anymore. All she ever does is go on the phone, the mall, or shopping with other friends
Her kind bright eyes are still full of love and light, but not for me. For someone else, someone who used to be my best friend:
Yamato...
Who was my best friend, even though we had been enemies and always had fights, which led us to be best friends. But I never thought about it. She always belonged to me, and we both knew it. She and I had never any misunderstanding between us. And suddenly, it was gone within seconds.
She had never done this to me before.
And how I wished to hear her voice again, calling out with me. The lovely voice that always wanted to make you smile, to make you feel better. And now, the voice that brought back fresh and painful memories. The voice that rang in my head and make me sob wildly. The voice that would hurt me more than I thought or known. The voice that could make me feel so little and insignificant. I had never seen this side of her, never heard her voice this way.
For three years...she had always been mine.
And now? I was about to lose her
Forever.
*Flashback*
It was snowing, great heaps of snow. There came shouts of delight from the kids at the window. Tai Kamiya looked up to see his little sister Kari, T.K., Matt's little brother, and Sora huddled by the window, gazing up at the falling snow.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Tai asked, putting a hand on Sora's shoulder.
"Yes." She said softly, but sadly.
"Don't worry Sora." Tai said. "There will be another snowstorm as beautiful as this one." Sora smiled lightly and turned around. Tai followed her gaze.
Matt. Yes, Yamato, Tai's best friend, was sitting on the table, drinking a pop in one hand and playing an imaginary guitar in another with his eyes close. Sora smiled and pushed Tai's hand off his shoulder. Tai smiled too, but was hurt. Why had she pushed his hand off?
T.K., Matt's little brother, was yanking Kari's hair gently, almost stroking it. They giggled and ran around in circles. Sora sat down on the windowsill and put her arms protectively around her knees. Tai sat next to her and Sora sighed, letting her head fall on his shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Tai asked Sora.
"Nothing." Sora said. "I'm going to miss you Tai." Tai looked confused and shocked.
"Where are you going?" Tai asked.
"Nowhere." Sora said. "You'll see." She tucked in the corners of her dress. Sora never donned hats or pants anymore. She became more and more of the preppy girls that went to Tai's school, wearing dresses and skirts and giggling at the time. Where was the Sora that loved to run around and climb trees? Tai reached for her head gently. This Sora just liked to talk, do quiet things, and almost nothing interesting at all. Sometimes he liked to imagine that she had traded spots with someone in the Digital World. But this change had occurred gradually, if not rapidly. Still, he seemed to have just noticed how MUCH she had changed, and he still had no idea how much she would have changed by the end of that day. He looked at her with a smile on his face. A sad smile. Surely he hadn't changed? But this wasn't his sweet lovable Sora anymore, the girl that seemed to be so light, and so brightened his day.
Kari always brightened the whole room, and laughingly seemed to make you giggle, laugh, and do whatever you want. She seemed to be a little princess. She was somewhere between Mimi and Sora. Mimi was a true listen-to-me princess.
Sora, now, was different. At least the Sora he used to know seemed to be. Sora was always loving, her voice made you want to wipe your tears away and smile.
He looked at her, and saw the difference. Not a light-hearted Sora no longer. No, not a bright Sora, but a down hearted one. And when Sora wasn't happy, neither was he. But he didn't want to ask her what was wrong again. He knew that nothing was wrong if she said that nothing was wrong. Still, she had changed so much these past days he began to worry.
He reached into his pockets and found two tickets there. Yes, the two tickets he was going to use to ask Sora to go to the concert with him. But...would she say yes? Tai laughed at himself. Of course! This was Sora we were talking about, Sora who loved to see him, Sora and Tai, no one ever had any problem with that, and they were the school's most famous couple (followed closely by T.K. and Kari)! Tai smiled and looked at Sora.
Her eyes were not looking at him, they were looking past him. Tai followed her gaze once more and saw nothing. Matt's chair was empty. T.K. and Kari had followed Matt into another room. Instead, a guitar could be heard playing a nice, soft melody.
"Come on Tai." Sora said lightly, pulling Tai towards the room. "Let's go!"
"One last thing." Tai said, stopping her a few paces before the door, which stood ajar. "Sora, I love you, you know that." He gave her a kiss, which she didn't return. "Sora?"
"I'm here." Said Sora's timid voice. Tai smiled, but his veins seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move. What had just happened? He shook Sora's feeling away and forced himself to smile at her. "I got these tickets to a concert." Tai said, holding up the tickets. "Would you like to go with me? For Christmas?" He smiled, certain she would say yes, yet this creepy feeling crawling up his neck.
"I-I can't." Sora stuttered. Tai couldn't believe his ears. Why? He was shocked.
"Why?" He asked. The question seemed to echo in his head over and over. Why aren't you going? Why must you be like this? Why are you so mean? Why do you regret everything I do? Why don't you love me anymore? Why, why, why?
"Well, because." Sora paused. "I want to stay open...for Matt."
What did she just say? Did she say she refused because she wanted Yamato, his best friend, to ask her? Did he hear correctly? Tai blinked. Was she shooting him down for someone else?
Apparently yes.
"I'm really sorry Tai." She said, her eyes looking in the door, at Matt. Tai could feel tears welling up in his eyes. Three years of her, it couldn't end in this. She's sorry?
"No you're not." Tai said bitterly, looking down at the floor. He was a fool, to think she would always be with him forever. To think that...Taichi looked away. It was just too painful. For Matt. Those words echoed in his mind.
"I really am sorry." Sora said. "Sorry it had to end like this."
Yes, end like this...end like this from a three-year relationship. They've been together for more than three years. And yet, all the memories of all the fun they've had kept coming back to him.
"Tai?" Sora asked. He didn't budge. He seemed paralyzed, and the saddest anyone could be. He seemed to be biting his lip from crying out. And yet he must be brave. He had the crest of courage.
"Tai." Sora said, giving him a sad, warm smile. It made him want to cry even more. Yes, this was the new Sora Takenouchi smile, not the one that comforted you, but the one that made you cry more. It was so sad, touching, he sniffed. She would be gone forever, if only he would say the words. And he must. He must be a gentlemen.
"It's all right." He found himself saying. "Really, Sora, I'm all right. I just think..." He trailed off. "I'm going to go home." He walked out the door and left her speechless. But not for long. She bounced into the room, as light as a bird. She was free again.
And him?
Walking down the street, shuffling his shoes, he thought about her, and about how much fun they had. Ooh, all that fun. Gone?! How could it be? He cried. Literally, on the street, he cried.
How could she do this to him? He sat down on the sidewalk and looked up at the sky. The sky looked like a big cloud of fury. The snowflakes had stopped dancing and all was still. Everyone was in his or her houses.
Suddenly, the door opened from that dreaded house again and Kari Kamiya, his little sister, came out. She snuck her little hand in his and they walked home.
Tai smiled sadly. He still had Kari, and, well, he was just so confused. Was he still Matt's friend then? Whose fault was it? And T.K., would he allow T.K. to hang around with Kari still?
Tai did not know any of the answers to those questions. He knew one certain thing, though.
"I want my Sora back."
I don't really think I should write a sequel to this. Of course I want this to end up straight and right, it's just that...I dunno, if you want me to, tell me and I'll consider it.
Digimon does not belong to me.
Digi hear? Digi watch the newest shows? Can you believe what Sora did to Tai? She totally shot him down! And, well, while you get to see Sora's feeling, you didn't get to know what Tai felt, except that he looked very pained and sad. So here, I wrote about what it must have beeb like for Taichi Kamiya.
